"The Staff Selection Committee (SSC) was formed in 1975 and since then have been recruiting many people to work in the government through their exams like SSC Common Graduate Level (CGL) and SSC Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL).\r\n<h2>SSC CGL</h2>\r\nSSC CGL offers more than 15 different posts with more than 5 different pay grades ranging from Rs. 1,51,100 tp Rs. 25,500. A single candidate can apply for multiple posts as long as he is eligible. For CGL, the candidate must at least have a bachelor's degree to apply. The exam is conducted in 4 different stages called tiers.\r\n\r\nThe SSC CGL exam syllabus 2020 is as follows:\r\n\r\n<strong>Tier I:</strong> Topics related to General Intelligence &amp; Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, English Language &amp; comprehension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tier II:</strong> Topics related to Quantitative Aptitude, English Language &amp; Comprehension, Statistics, General Studies( Finance &amp; Economics)\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https://entri.sng.link/Bcofz/qf7v/2g71\">Start your practice for the upcoming SSC exams here!</a></p>\r\n<strong>Tier III:</strong> This exam is a descriptive exam to evaluate a candidate’s Language skills in Hindi/English.

In contrary to the latter, this exam is conducted in only 3 tiers. The first is a computer-based then a descriptive paper and finally a skill-based exam. The SSC CHSL Syllabus covers a wide range of topics on a variety of subjects. The syllabus for the SSC CHSL Exam may vary from tier to tier.\r\n\r\nThe syllabus for this year’s exam is as follows:\r\n\r\n<strong>Tier I: </strong>The topics in this section will be related to General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, English Language.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tier II:</strong> This is a descriptive exam where a candidate’s writing skills will be put to the test.

The SSC CHSL Eligibility criteria are as follows:\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li><strong>Nationality:</strong> Candidates must be nationals of India, Nepal, Bhutan</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Age Limit:</strong> Candidates must be between the age group of 18 years to 27 years.</li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Qualifications:</strong> Candidates must be 12th pass or equivalent from a recognized board of a university.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h2>Normalisation</h2>\r\nNormalisation means adjusting the difficulty of the exam across different shifts of the exam. As of now, normalisation is done in SSC CGL exams. Normalisation is still pretty new to SSC and was only implemented in the year 2018. Until then, the marks were unaltered.\r\n\r\nHere is the normalisation formula:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6308093\" src=\"https://entri.app/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Formula.png\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nComplicated? Here is a simple example.\r\n\r\nLet’s take an example for calculation of marks using normalization concept in SSC CGL Tier 2 exam.\r\n\r\nA candidate got 142 marks on 10 August, 3rd shift.\r\n\r\nThe Average marks of top 0.1% candidates in all sessions = 191\r\n\r\nSum of Mean and SD (which is a cut-off) for all sessions = 131\r\n\r\nAverage marks of top 0.1% candidates in 10th August 3rd shift = 185\r\n\r\nSum of Mean and SD (which is a cut-off)for 10 august 3rd session = 129\r\n\r\nNormalization marks = (60/56) (13) + 129 = 142.92\r\n\r\nIf you still don't get it, don't worry. Point is normalisation increases/decreases your marks based on cut off, average and difficulty to make the exam seem fair even though it may not make a huge difference sometimes. Like how in the example the candidate only got 0.92 marks extra. But sometimes, normalisation could be why you get a distinction or higher. It could be your saving grace but can also be your bane.\r\n\r\nSo that's the gist of it. The <a href=\"https://entri.sng.link/Bcofz/qf7v/2g71\">Entri App</a> helps you prepare enough so normalisation isn't that much of a deal and you are well prepared and confident enough.
